Laugh it off!

For a very serious monday morning, I think this is not bad to start the day with. Enjoy.

Tech support: “may I help you?”

Woman: “Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.”

Tech support:”What sort of trouble?”

Woman: “Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.”

Tech support: “Went away?”

Woman: “They disappeared.”

Tech support: “Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?”

Woman: “Nothing.”

Tech support: “Nothing?”

Woman: “It’s blank; it won’t accept anything when I type.”

Tech support: “Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?”

Woman: “How do I tell?”

Tech support: “Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?”

Woman: “What’s a sea-prompt?”

Tech support: “Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?”

Woman: “There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I type.”

Tech support: “Does your monitor have a power indicator?”

Woman: “What’s a monitor?”

Tech support: “It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.
Does it have a little light that tells you when it’s on?”

Woman: “I don’t know.”

Tech support: “Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it.
Can you see that?”

Woman: …..”Yes, I think so.”

Tech support: “Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged into the wall.”

Woman: …..”Yes, it is.”

Tech support: “When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables
plugged into the back of it, not just one?”

Woman: “No.”

Tech support: “Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.”

Woman: …..”Okay, here it is.”

Tech support: “Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the back of your computer.”

Woman: “I can’t reach it.”

Tech support: “Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?”

Woman: “No.”

Tech support: “Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?”

Woman: “Oh, it’s not because I don’t have the right angle-it’s because it’s dark.”

Tech support: “Dark?”

Woman: “Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.”

Tech support: “Well, turn on the office light then.”

Woman: “I can’t.”

Tech support: “No? Why not?”

Woman: “Because there’s a power outage.”

Tech support: “A power… A power outage? Aha! Okay, we’ve got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?”

Woman: “Well, yes. I keep them in the closet.”

Tech support: “Good! Go get them and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it.
Then take it back to the store you bought it from.”

Woman: “Really! Is it that bad?”

Tech support: “Yes, I’m afraid it is.”

Woman: “Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?”

Tech support: “Tell them you’re too stupid to own a computer.”
